VIDEO | 1 sector of Paris-Roubaix cobblestones down but total chaos takes place - Van Aert, Philipsen and Stuyven crash; Ganna punctures
CyclingSunday, 13 April 2025 at 13:31
Troisville is the first sector of cobblestone roads at Paris-Roubaix, every year an iconic moment on the Hell of the North. But it is also one of the most tense. In the run-up to it, several top favourites have crashed or punctured already.
Away from the cameras Wout van Aert has reportedly crashed. He has regained position in the peloton but on the cobbled sector he had to make a recovery as he was quite badly positioned. Jasper Philipsen and Jasper Stuyven have crashed in two separate falls right before the sector, whilst in the cobbles themselves INEOS' Filippo Ganna and Connor Swift have both punctured as the team led the peloton.

🚴🇫🇷 | Van Aert sluit weer aan bij de eerste groep. Hij was even op achterstand geraakt. Is dit écht wat er vooraan nog over is? 😬😬

Grosse chute de Jasper Philipsen dans un virage. L'adhérence de la route semble particulièrement galère... Jasper Stuyven (Lidl-Trek) a lui aussi été pris dans une chute !
Le peloton entame lui le premier secteur pavé. pic.twitter.com/1e04kWQkyU

- Utterly delusional.
ScottG27-04-2025 - Healy has to be the gamest guy in the peloton. He is always at the pointy end when things are tough, and he never throws in the towel. The break was essentially caught. Pidcock sat up, but Healy pressed on to a desperate (and apparently hopeless) surge from Ciccone. I'm so glad to see he got the podium for his initiative and courage.
Barney27-04-2025 - It's super-cool.Barney27-04-2025
- Well, now he’s tied with Coppi, Girardengo, and Kelly at 3rd on the list of monument winners. He’s been on the podium for the last 6, winning 4 of them. And for the third year in a row, he and van der Poel have each won two - something no two riders had managed before 2023. Anyone placing bets against him in Il Lombardia?RidesHills27-04-2025
- Remco will make it back strong, he still needs some time. Crashes suck and some are tough to get over. The best way back is to race and he's doing that.awp27-04-2025
- Such a privilege to watch Tadej race. Time will tell just how great he is but it's nice watching such a great athlete race in our time.awp27-04-2025
- A fair number of people bemoan Pogacar's dominance. But we've seen how quickly a reign can end with Froome and Bernal. For now, I relish a guy who races positively, does more than his share along with his team, and seems genuinely liked by his fellow riders. Chapeau.Barney27-04-2025
- All depends on what people mean by the word "Greatest". I think what you mean is that there are multiple ways to measure someone's success. Good point.Ride197427-04-2025
- Sometimes it can be a very fine line between a race that's exciting and entertaining, and one that's monotonous and predictable.
santiagobenites27-04-2025 - Remco? come on, Cannibal, your heir has only two rival: van der Poel in pavè classics and Vingegaard in 3 weeks tours. Period.
